There are about 2333 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Ireland. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
The study will examine the sensitivity and specificity of a circulating cell-free nucleic acid test (DNA/RNA) to identify Down syndrome between about 10 weeks and 21 weeks 6 days gestation. In addition, the new test may be used to identify trisomy 13 and 18 as part of a more complete laboratory developed test. We hypothesize that the new circulating cell-free fetal NA-based test will accurately and precisely measure specific fetal markers in maternal circulation and that measurement will lead to the ability to noninvasively identify with high sensitivity and specificity, fetal chromosome abnormalities, such as Down syndrome.
The purpose of this Phase III study was to confirm the value of adding everolimus to weekly paclitaxel and trastuzumab as treatment of HER2-overexpressing metastatic breast cancer.
Objectives: - To find out if the chance of developing a serious illness or of getting AIDS is less if patients start taking HIV medicines at a time when their cluster-of-differentiation-4 (CD4)+ cell count is still fairly high, instead of waiting until the CD4+ count is at the level where there is good evidence for starting medicines. - To learn more about how a strategy of starting HIV medicines early might affect other aspects of care, such as the chances of developing other illnesses or resistance to HIV medicines, the frequency of doctor visits, the cost of medical care, and general health and satisfaction.
This was a study to determine whether therapy with pazopanib was effective and safe in women with epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer whose cancer had not progressed on first line chemotherapy.
The purpose of the study is to determine if advanced prostate cancer patient s that are treated with radiotherapy (RT) plus ipilimumab live longer that those treated with RT alone
The study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of both aliskiren monotherapy and aliskiren/enalapril combination therapy as compared to enalapril monotherapy, on morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic heart failure (NYHA Class II - IV.
An observational cohort study on safety and efficacy of the 220 mg dose Pradaxa to generate additional data in predefined sub populations of patients at increased risk of bleeding or VTE
Primary objective of the study's Safety run-in: - To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of cilengitide in combination with cetuximab, and platinum-based chemotherapy (cisplatin/vinorelbine or cisplatin/gemcitabine). Primary objective of the study's Randomization Part: - To assess the efficacy of cilengitide in combination with cetuximab and platinum-based chemotherapy (cisplatin/vinorelbine or cisplatin/gemcitabine) compared to cetuximab and platinum-based chemotherapy alone in terms of progression-free survival (PFS) time. Study design and plan: This is a multicenter, open-label, randomized, controlled Phase II study with a safety run-in part in subjects with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). During the safety run-in, the regimen was intensified stepwise by cohort (cilengitide intravenous [i.v.] 1000 milligram [mg] to 2000 mg twice a week) in a classical 3+3 subjects (for each platinum-based chemotherapy regimens separately) approach with predefined dose- and schedule reduction rules. In the safety run-in 12 subjects were included and evaluated for safety and feasibility of different escalating doses of cilengitide administered twice weekly in combination with cetuximab, cisplatin and vinorelbine or gemcitabine. After completion of the safety run-in, the randomized part will be started, during which all subjects will receive cetuximab and platinum-based chemotherapy (cisplatin/vinorelbine or cisplatin/gemcitabine). Subjects will be centrally randomized on a 1:1 basis to either Group A or C; Group B will be closed with implementation of Amendment No. 4 (dated 20 December 2010): • Group A: Cilengitide 2000 mg once weekly (Days 1, 8, and 15 of every 3-week chemotherapy cycle) in combination with cetuximab and platinum-based chemotherapy that will consist of the following: - Cetuximab once weekly (Days 1, 8, and 15), plus cisplatin on Day 1 and vinorelbine on Days 1 and 8 of every 3-week chemotherapy cycle, or - Cetuximab once weekly (Days 1, 8, and 15), plus cisplatin on Day 1 and gemcitabine on Days 1 and 8 of every 3-week chemotherapy cycle. The decision which of the 2 chemotherapy regimens will be applied for a given subject is at the discretion of the treating investigator. • Group B: Cilengitide 2000 mg twice weekly (Days 1, 4, 8, 11, 15, and 18 of every 3-week chemotherapy cycle) in combination with cetuximab and platinum-based chemotherapy as described for Group A. Group B will be closed with implementation of Amendment No. 4 (global, dated 20 December 2010). Subjects randomized to Group B before implementation of Amendment No 4 will continue to be treated as planned. • Group C: Cetuximab and platinum-based chemotherapy as described for Group A Chemotherapy will be given until radiographically documented progressive disease (PD) or unacceptable toxicity but for no more than 6 cycles. Cilengitide and cetuximab will be given until radiographically documented PD or unacceptable toxicity. Randomization will be performed centrally using an interactive voice/web response system (IXRS). A stratified block randomization procedure will be employed using chosen first-line chemotherapy (cisplatin/vinorelbine versus cisplatin/gemcitabine) as stratification criterion.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety profile of BG00012 (dimethyl fumarate). Secondary objectives of this study are to evaluate the long-term efficacy of BG00012 using clinical endpoints and disability progression, to evaluate further the long-term effects of BG00012 on multiple sclerosis (MS) brain lesions on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans in participants who had MRI scans as part of Studies 109MS301 (NCT00420212) and 109MS302 (NCT00451451) and to evaluate the long-term effects of BG00012 on health economics assessments and the visual function test.
